Watercoloring without a Brush

Here is a way to create beautiful water colored flowers -  Use Dee's watercolor (WC) stamps. :o)

1. Colored directly onto flower stamp with Marvy markers.  Misted stamp with water and stamped on WC paper. Cut out the flower and stem.
   
2. Stamped flower boarder with Blending Blox orange. I turned the ink pad 180 degrees each time I stamped as I moved down the boarder - that way you get light to light and dark to dark ink for a smooth blended look. Misted each time and stamped on WC paper. Cute out the border. 
   
3. Colored frame with marker. Stamped frame on WC paper. Sponged Blending Blox Caribbean for the center background and cut out.
   
4. I Used pop dot behind flower and cut a little hole in bottom of frame for stem to poke through.
